Bakewell Market Hall is a historic building in the town of Bakewell, in Derbyshire, in England. The building was constructed in about 1600 as the town's market hall. Originally, the ground floor was partly open to the street, and the upper floor may have been timber framed. It was altered in the 18th century, with the ground floor arcade filled in.
In 1709, the hospital was relocated to new almshouses in South Church Street, and the old town hall was altered. The ground floor continued to be used as a buttermarket, but later also accommodated the local horse drawn fire engine. [4] In 1826, local municipal activities relocated to Bakewell Market Hall in Bridge Street. [5]
